Film shows why uranium mining is bad for Virginia

Why is SCC and the Alliance concerned about uranium mining and milling in Virginia?

This short film really sums it up! It’s about the Olympic Dam uranium mine in South Australia. Their plight mirrors our own if uranium mining and milling EVER takes place in Virginia. URANIUM MINING & MILLING HAS NEVER BEEN DONE SAFELY ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD! WHILE SOME SAY THAT THEY WANT (AND NEED) A “STUDY”, THE ONLY TRUE INFORMATION CAN COME FROM WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST.

Studying “how” to mine and mill uranium in Virginia is much different than studying “should” we mine and mill uranium in Virginia. REMEMBER: All uranium mining and milling has been done with the “latest technology” since its inception. ALL OF THAT TECHNOLOGY HAS FAILED!
Since mining and milling has NEVER been done in an area with our population (OVER 500,000 people within 120 miles of the proposed mine and milling operation and many, many more down stream to the Atlantic Ocean) and our net precipitation (greater than evaporation) any “study” of “how” to mine and mill uranium in Pittsylvania County, or anywhere else in Virginia, will be a THEORY.
